I colored with Copic markers and used a rubber stamp for stamping the greeting. I had a tricky time with making the banner using partial cuts from circle dies. Kept trimming until it fit my card. And finished off with Diamond Stickles!

The Outlawz Color Challenge has a new challenge today! In fact, there is a new challenge every Tuesday! I'm guesting there again this week!

To play in the challenge, you use the colors from the inspiration photo and a "twist". This week, the twist is "Winged Things". That covers a lot of things, Fairies, bees, butterflies, birds, angels, and on and on!!

Here is the inspiration photo!

Here is my card!

I used Copic markers to color this nice Stampin Up! set called Nature's Perfection.

The link above will take you to Paola and My Whimsical Little World's facebook page. Here is how the challenge works.
To start, you go to the SHOP and purchase the digital image of the bunny for 50 percent off.
Then, in the photo album on the facebook page, you place your photo.
Next month, you get the May image for free!! That is so fun!! I can't wait to see what the May image will be.

It's a progressive challenge which means that if you played last month, you get your image for free for May! If not, you can buy the image and start playing. Can't wait for the May image---I know it will be adorable.

Here is my card!

The papers are from my stash. I colored with Copic markers. Hope you will pop by Gerda's challenge blog,

Here is a card I made for Deedee's Digis Progressive Challenge. If you make a card with the image of the month, you get the next months's image (which is a wonderful set, actually) automatically sent to you!

Here is April's set called Blooming Blessings. Because it is the Digi set of the Month, you get all the images you see for $1.25. That is a GREAT bargain! The store link is HERE. If you participated in the challenge though, you will automatically get the May set for free.

Here is the card I made using one of the images. I used Copic markers to color the image. The papers and embellies are all from my stash.

Hello everyone! This week we have a really nice sketch for you at the Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge, but first let me mention our sponsor for the month of April. We are so happy to have Krista's wonderful digi company be our sponsor this month!

Okay, now to see the sketch! The nice thing about most sketch challenges is that you are allowed to rotate the sketch. I actually didn't know that I had rotated it until I went to post my card in the DT area of the challenge and saw a somewhat different looking sketch than I had used. When I made my card, I had the printed piece of paper upside down. Whoops!! But it's okay as we always say it is okay to rotate and flip, just as long as we can see how you used the sketch as your inspiration.! Whew!! Here is the Sketch.

And here is my card using our sponsor image of this adorable elephant!!

I colored my image with Copic markers and drew in some confetti for the background behind the elephant. The buttons are made with a punch by Martha Stewart. The twine is from Doodlebug. My lavender background layer came already embossed so that was nice and easy!

I hope you will stop by the Sketch Challenge and see what my teammates have cooked up for you!!

Happy Wednesday! It's time for a new Outlawz Sketch Challenge! Before I show you the new sketch, here is our sponsor for April! Be sure and check out Krista's store!! It is so awesome!! Our monthly prize winner will receive 3 digis from the store!!

Wait until you see the delightful inspiration photo for the Outlawz Color Challenge!! It was love at first sight for me!! I am guesting this week at the Color Challenge, where I am always made to feel so welcome!!! I love those ladies there!!

Here is the lovely picture I'm talking about!! The colors are so vivid and gorgeous!! The twist this week is "Anything but a card." I had to put on my thinking cap for this one as I am 99 percent cards!! But then I remembered I had just last week taken a picture of a beautiful bluebird that has returned with its mate after a very long winter. I snapped the photo out of my bathroom window and was amazed at how well it turned out. I had planned to scrap this picture in a scrapbook that I am making which contains my most favorite photos. (which consists mostly of my family!). So when this Anything but a Card Challenge came along, I knew what I wanted to make!!!!

So here is my 12 x 12 inch scrapbook page using the above colors! The papers are from my stash along with those pretty white flowers. The computer made my journaling for me! Here is my scrapbook page!

Won't you stop by the Outlawz Color Challenge and see what gorgeous projects the Design Team has made!! Camilla is also guesting and she has made a beautiful tag! Hop over there are see what the other designers have made!! Remember the theme is Anything but a Card!!

And here is my card! It measures 5 x 7 inches and I rotated the sketch one turn. I used a Drawn with Character image and colored with Copic markers. The papers and embellies and stickers are all from my stash.

Time's fun when you're having flies!! Isn't that a cute saying? One of my Outlawz Progressive Challenge teamies, Pat Martin used that on her cute card and it gave me quite the chuckle!! Follow this LINK to go see the design team cards.

Ina from Encino Stamps supplied our freebie image for April. It is Freddy the Frog and he is the cutest thing ever!!

I colored my image and the scenery with Copic markers. Hope you will stop by the Progressive Challenge and see what my teamies made!!
